...little reminiscent of the 1962 elections under President Arturo Frondizi, when the Peronistas won 35% of the vote, 44 seats and nine governorships. The difference was that in 1962 the Perón-hating military ousted Frondizi and promptly annulled the elections. This time, the military felt safe in allowing the Peronistas to run.

And in Honduras, the army officers who toppled President Ramon Villeda Morales last year are slowly running the country's faltering economy into the ground...
...mind; he seldom leaves the palace, makes few speeches and fewer decisions. Yet by doing almost nothing, Illia seems to be giving Argentines what they need-a healing peace to recover from the 18 months of military-dominated government and economic confusion that followed the overthrow of President Arturo Frondizi...
